Before the dowels are cut in half, I sealed the dowels with varnish.
I simply dipped a paper towel in the varnish and wiped it on the dowel.
After drying the dowels were smoothed over with 400 grit.
The fins were taped down to a piece of cardboard for primer spraying.
Notice the root edges are butted together. This keeps the primer off the gluing surface.
Instead of using the fin marking template on the instructions, I used my (yet to be released) Odd'l Rockets FinTool to mark the tube. It was slid into the back and lines were drawn using the marks on the base of the tool.
The lines were extended down the body tube using an aluminum angle.
